  • Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) VP of Windows 10 Joe Belfiore tweets that new Windows 10 Mobile features and hardware are no longer the company’s focus.
  • Belfiore says Mobile will continue receiving bug fixes and security updates but the end of new features means the end of Windows phones. 
  • The news isn’t surprising since even Bill Gates gave up his Windows Phone for an Android. The Windows phone had a 1.3% market share in the US as of July, according to Kantar Worldpanel. Android had 64% of the market and iOS held 34%. 
  • The lack of users also led to a lack of developers, which continued to fuel the lack of users.       
  • Previously: Microsoft, GE announce 15-year wind energy deal in Ireland (Oct. 9)
